   Penley's lawyer Darrell Keith of the Keith Law Firm in Fort Worth tried to steer the focus away from Shackelford's focus on religious freedom.
   
   "I think the Liberty Legal group ... has an agenda to advance these types of cases," he said.
   
   Keith said he isn't out to undermine the First Amendment but to hold Westbrook responsible for negligence in his role as a secular counselor.
   
   Keith said Penley and Westbrook knew each other at a church they attended, and when Penley began having trouble in her marriage in 1998, she sought counseling from Westbrook who had a secular, state-licensed practice.Keith said she paid him for the services.
   ...
   Westbrook invited Penley and her husband to attend group counseling sessions at his home, which Keith said were secular in nature.
   ...
   Penley, Keith argued, was under the impression that even though Westbrook was now her pastor and the other members of the group were from her new congregation, Westbrook was acting as a counselor, not a minister.
   ...
   Justice Harriet O'Neill suggested Keith was "dancing on the head of a pin" in his efforts to parse out secular from ecclesiastical activity.
